Worst Diet Idea Ever edition

Posted by chris on Nov 27th, 2008

My food log for yesterday:

1. One slice of honey smoked turkey deli meat
2. Sandwich: blackened catfish filet, two strips of uncured apple smoked bacon & romaine lettuce on whole grain bread from La Brea Bakery
3. Sample of pumpkin pie from Trader Joe’s
4. Trader Joe’s apples & cinnamon oatmeal
5. 12oz coffee from Starbucks with non-fat milk
6. Kashi GOLEAN crunchy chocolate peanut bar
7. Strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry mix from Whole Foods

When I buy the single serving, pre-washed/cut berry mix from Whole Foods, I know I’m paying a premium. But if I purchase fruit in bulk and it’s not ready to eat at a moments notice, I’m more likely to let it rot in the fridge — a terrible habit that I can’t seem to shake.

So for now, I guilt myself into eating the prepared fruit from Whole Foods, while it’s fresh and ripe, since I paid more for it than any sane person would. Worst diet idea ever — but it works.
